AIRTEC COMPETITION INTERCOOLER KIT VAG 2.0 TSI EA888.3 MQB (Gen3)

TECHNICAL DATA

AIRTEC Motorsport is proud to present the front-mount intercooler upgrade for the VAG MQB EA888.3 platform.

This freer-flowing intercooler is a direct replacement for the smaller, more restrictive OEM setup.

Fits the following vehicles:

• Volkswagen Golf Mk7 / 7.5 R – 2.0 TSI
• Volkswagen Golf Mk7/7.5 GTI incl. Clubsport and Clubsport S – 2.0 TSI
• Seat Leon Cupra 265/280/300 – 2.0 TSI (not compatible from 2018 onwards).
• Seat Leon – 1.9 / 2.0 TSI
• Audi S3 8V (Hatchback and Sedan variants) – 2.0 TSI
• Audi TTS 8S – 2.0 TSI
• Audi TT 8S – 1.8 / 2.0 TSI
• Audi A3 8V – 1.8 / 2.0 TSI
• Skoda Octavia vRS – 2.0 TSI

Featured Featuring a 60mm core design combined with high-flow die-cast end tanks, the AIRTEC intercooler offers significantly more surface area, efficiency, and volume than standard. Despite this improvement, it fits perfectly under the original bumper, requires no trimming or cutting, and can be used with the original piping.

As with all AIRTEC products, the intercooler was tested back-to-back on the OEM part's dyno. This showed a huge reduction in charge air temperatures compared to standard.

Our test car was equipped with a Cobra cat-back exhaust system and Revo Stage 1 software.

Stock intercooler temperatures averaged 64 degrees and peaked at 68 degrees (after 5 consecutive runs). On Stage 1 Revo software, the car struggled to produce a peak power increase of 40hp, due to the restrictive and inefficient OEM VW intercooler that was unable to effectively cool intake temperatures.

With the AIRTEC intercooler fitted, the IAT saw a massive 120-degree drop, keeping temperatures much closer to ambient and proving more reliable run after run. This gave a huge increase in performance, shown by the dyno test results below.

Test results taken @ AmD Rolling road:

Before the AIRTEC intercooler was fitted, the car produced 336.1 hp and 350.9 lb/ft of torque

After the intercooler was fitted, it produced an impressive 371.8 hp and 352.9 lb/ft
